There is one thing that Britain is far from being able to compare with the United States in this era, and that is the science and technology of the British. If it weren't for Joseph's appearance, Britain in this era would definitely be qualified to say to other countries, "Stupid, I'm the best in science and technology in Great Britain". Of course, because of a certain B, the people of Great Britain themselves are not embarrassed to say that they are the first in the world in science and technology, but compared to the United States, they still don't know how strong it is, and it is even the difference between civilized people and barbarians.

Generally speaking, when the French launch a new toy, the British will soon be able to come up with something that looks similar to the French toy, with a little higher cost and a little less performance. As for other countries, they can basically only say: "Dad France is advanced, and British goods are all copycats, and they will be bad when they are used!" We're all going to buy the good stuff of Daddy France. ”

Although British knockoffs are not of good quality and will break when they are used, there are times when Dad Française labels something as not for sale, and the British can overwhelm other countries with knockoffs.

For example, the British hit the shell of the Constitution at this time.

When the French used white phosphorus incendiary bombs to reduce the city of the Barbary pirates to ashes in North Africa, the British immediately noticed this. Later, based on the reports of those who had witnessed the burning of the fire from the fugitives of the Barbary pirates, the secret of this miraculous weapon was deduced - the arson bombs of the French used white phosphorus.

After the corresponding research, the British completed their own white phosphorus incendiary bomb, and there were innovations on the basis of the French.

The British noticed that white phosphorus produces a lot of smoke when burned, and if a little other stuff is added in, the toxicity of the smoke produced is even more obvious, and in a confined space, this toxic smoke can be very lethal. And the warship happens to be a confined space. Therefore, the British specially developed a semi-armor-piercing shell, which is filled with charged white phosphorus, and after the shell is fired and hits the target, the slender shell itself will be broken and broken, and in the process, the shell will become very hot, and the burning charged white phosphorus will be thrown into the cabin by the broken shell. Not only does the white phosphorus cause a fire, but the toxic smoke from its own combustion is enough to suffocate the crew who inhales it.

Now there is such an armor-piercing incendiary bomb that has entered the hold of the "Constitution". Just as the British had come to expect from the design, the slender shell shattered as it pierced the thick planks of the Constitution, and the broken sections of the shell flew around the cabin, killing several gunners and throwing burning white phosphorus all over the cabin.

The white phosphorus burned rapidly, and some of the tinder even fell into the powder keg used to fire the shells, causing another deflagration. All at once, the flames rose.

Compared with the red-hot bombs that were set on fire in warships before, that is, the kind of iron balls that burned red, the efficiency of the British armor-piercing incendiary bombs in arson is really not known to be high. Almost in the blink of an eye, the fire was difficult to control.

General Cade was also on the USS Constitution, and although he was shocked when the USS Constitution was hit by a shot at first, he was not too worried. What is it to be hit by a shell? In those days, it was almost impossible to sink a ship with shells, and shells caused casualties at best.

Soon, however, he realized that something was wrong in the cabin, and white smoke began to rise from the various gun doors in the cabin, and then even flames came out of the gun doors. Let's read a book

"This ...... So so? "General Cade felt that his brain was completely insufficient—it was, if the last time they encountered the ship, it was a tragedy; So this time, when they encounter the boat again, the tragedy turns into a thriller - who has ever seen it only to take a shot and the whole ship burn up?

At this time, Captain Johansen ran over: "Commander, you must leave immediately!" ”

"What's going on?" General Cayde asked.

"The enemy used a new type of arson...... "Johnson said, coughing, "ahem...... Cough...... This thing, ignited gunpowder, and...... And the smoke is too big, and there is poison, and many young men who went up to put out the fire ...... Suddenly...... Some of them were fainted...... Commander, now that the fire is out of control, we must abandon the ship! ”

By this time, the fire was becoming more and more obvious, and the flames had even reached the first deck. Many soldiers didn't even wait for orders, and jumped into the sea with barrels or something. And the steam engine also stopped, and it seemed that the fire had reached the power compartment.

"Immediately give the order to let the fleet disband and break through." General Kane realized how vulnerable his warships were to the British's new type of arson, which only needed to hit a shell to make a warship burn - it wasn't that we were incompetent, but that the enemy was too technologically advanced to fight this battle! Compared to the British warships, the American fleet was as fragile as bugs.

The order was given in the form of a flag. General Kane, along with the captain, pushed the lifeboat overboard and got onto the lifeboat. The British ignored them and went straight to chase the American warships that broke up and fled for their lives, and Kane pulled the sailors who had jumped into the sea into the lifeboats.

This area is very dimensional, and under the influence of the Labrador cold current, the water temperature is quite low, even in summer, it is around ten degrees, and at this time, the water temperature may only be two or three degrees, and people who soak in such water for a little longer will freeze to death.

General Kane and others managed to get some of the sailors out of the water, and then they rowed the lifeboats southwest of Nova Scotia, Canada's territory.

The remaining four U.S. warships scattered and fled, and the Indomitable eventually caught up with only one, and it also only hit the opponent with one shot, which set the supercruiser on fire. The Americans were forced to abandon the ship. This time, having lost the position of the other American warships, the British stopped, grabbed the Yankees onto the ship, and returned to the mouth of the St. Lawrence.

A few days later, the escaped American warships returned to those American ports with news of their resounding defeat at sea.

As the so-called house leak happened to rain overnight, it was not only the Americans who suffered losses at sea, but also the Americans who suffered losses on the land battlefield.
